    Crazy Studebaker

     



    Was at a car show this week-end and saw this very radical 53 Studebaker. I had seen it before up at Hot August Nights, but did not have such a good photo op. He is running a 604 cu in Hemi complete with dual spark plugs and distributors. The car sits on an Art Morrison chassis and the detail is amazing.

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

    So that's why Studebaker put the emblem on the grill.
    What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?

    The show is called Thunder at Depot Park. It'e every Memorial Day week-end Saturday in Rio Linda. The car owner came all the way up from Fresno.

    Hey since you are a Jeep guy, you might like this one. Very clean, lotsa chrome goodies and certainly not something you see every day! He did get an award.

    My first car, and favorite car on Earth was the car I was lucky enough to own and drive to High School.....a '53 Studebaker.

    I still love 'em.

    Daver.
    Model "A"....all the way !

    Well, we were gonna throw down, but he did not have enough fuel to get to the track! If we were on Pinks, I think I would ask for about 25 lengths.

    Hey Daver, you and me man, '53 Studebakers are the best. That was my first car too, and now I am lucky enough to have another one!

    Yes I talked with him for a while. He apparently has quite a collection of cars. No idea what his business is other than it must be fairly lucrative. Not sure of his first name, but I think his last name is Gardner.

    Wild is not the word. I love it.
    Anyone who owns a car like that must have big coins, because I know he did not build it to drive.
